On Episode 129, I catch up with rising singer-songwriter Reyna Roberts. I really feel like Roberts has transcendent star potential as an artist. As mentioned, she's really gained a following this past year with the release of "Stompin' Grounds," an anthemic ode to small towns and The South. She of course has stellar pop sensibilities and is armed with powerhouse vocals, but I think what makes "Stompin' Grounds" is really her embracing those country roots and beginnings. She showcases and highlights her own sense of what country is and who country is. I think that's really the key to "Stompin' Grounds." She captures Country as a lifestyle, those Alabama roots, and her unabashed love and appreciation for Country.

During this interview, we talk some about what she has planned for her full-length debut album, songwriting, song inspiration, piano lessons growing up, and the dialogue that is taking place about diversity and women in country music and the meaningless barriers and gatekeeping in country music.

This episode's presenting partner is Desert Door Texas Sotol and The Blue Light Live.
